Here is another way:
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: register file contents
shell: cat /path/to/file/that/contains/text
register: file_contents
- name: show file contents
debug:
msg: '{{ file_contents.stdout }}'
or you can use a lookup
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: register file contents
set_fact:
file_contents: "{{ lookup('file',
'/path/to/file/that/contains/text' )}}"
- name: show file contents
debug:
msg: "{{ file_contents }}"
Hope this helps
Jon
